Is it OK for a baby to sleep in a Snuggle Me?

This is a tough call, especially since this product isn’t cheap.

Here’s what you should consider:

It’s going to be insanely tempting to let your baby sleep in this product.

Seriously, I can tell you from personal experience, the temptation is REAL, especially when you’re utterly sleep deprived and feeling desperate for some shut eye.

It may be in your best interest to avoid being regularly faced with a dangerous dilemma.

You should also consider whether others who are looking after the baby will understand the risks and/or follow your rules not to use the Snuggle Me for sleep.

Will an older sibling, a grandparent, or a babysitter be as vigilant about moving your baby to a safe sleep space?

 Every time your baby starts getting drowsy in his nest, you’re going to have to move him. This can be disruptive—and quite frankly, annoying.

You might prefer to let your baby lounge somewhere that’s also safe to fall asleep, like the aforementioned baby dome.

Since, especially for a young baby, awake windows are brief, it may make sense to choose a lounge pad that’s less of an investment.

After learning that the expensive Dockatot wasn’t safe for sleep, we got this lounger for awake time. Much cheaper and just as comfy.

Whether you feel like you got your money’s worth is going to hinge on how content your baby is to be put down (awake) in the Snuggle Me.

This product may be worth it to you if your baby is happy to lounge as he watches you pump, cook dinner, vacuum, send an email, or wash your hair.

Having your arms free every now and then might be worth its weight in gold. (Though, again, cheaper loungers could accomplish the same thing).
